Description
=========== 

This program allows you to edit 256 color views for AGI games. You can
import the regular 16 color views and convert them to 256 color 
format. It also can convert Windows BMP files into AGI256 pictures and
back.

The New Format
==============

The 256 color views are pretty much the same format as AGI, except 
that they do not support mirroring. The mirroring/transparenct byte is
exclusively for the transparent color now. Also, the cel data is not
run length encoded, just raw data. It still supports the 0x00 for a 
new line. Distinguishing the two different views is easy. Normal AGI
views start with '\x01\x01', while my new format starts with '\x0F\xF0'.

Have fun!
